It's an interesting thing to consider. If someone lies all the time, is it inconsistent to distrust the positive things they say but take the bad at face value?

Washington Mutual didn't get bailed out. The feds forced Chase to buy their accounts, making it less dramatic than Leeman.

Excel functions are translated. This leads to being pretty much locked out of any support beyond documentation if your system language isn't English.

I can't stress how much Teams and Zoom have disrupted traditional voice and collaboration, which was a cash cow for Cisco.

Yep. The company I work for stripped out all the Cisco desk phones last week. All the phone numbers just map to Teams now.

Cheaper, less hardware to troubleshoot, and better suited to hybrid work.

I've been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.

Video games have a very different production flow to film. The same people editing dialog recording are also doing other sound work. The people cleaning mocap also do hand animation. It's not like film where you hit a brick wall for 90% of your crew if your filming isn't on schedule.

Things in the short term are done recording and aren't impacted. Things in the long term can move the resources to other tasks. If a strike goes for six months or a year, they will start seeing issues.

Yeah, I got most of the way through DoS2 and gave up. Every fight was a giant mess of surfaces. Reducing that makes BG3 far more enjoyable.

I'm starting to suspect Oregon is cursed. All of these recent incidents, including the shroom incident, have been in Oregon.

Pokemon was a handheld franchise. All main series titles were Gameboy/DS games until the Switch came along.

Consoles had spinoffs like Stadium and Snap.

Lingo. It tickles my brain in wonderful ways. I'm currently working through the custom level Liduongo, sequel to an earlier map named Duolingo, and I continue to be surprised, delighted, and utterly perplexed.

It's a rules-based puzzler that doesn't tell you the rules buried in a confusing labyrinth. The only downside is that it requires a strong grasp of English, limiting its audience.
